It was a cold, rainy and windy day but several showed up anyway for the World Wide Photo Walk today in Huntington, NY, sponsored by Canon, We still had fun and took some fun photos. We ended the day with eating dinner at Sap Suckers, yum!

I just got back from doing a fun, all day seminar at a Canon Explorer of Light event with the Great Plains Nature Photographers in McPherson, Kansas- I lectured on Nature's Elusive beauty and The Amazing Night Sky. I'd like to thank Canon as well as Coordinators Jim & Cindy Griggs for the opportunity to share with others my passion for nature photography.

While in McPherson, I was invited to Maxwell Wildlife Refuge fundraising event with Jim, Cindy and Jeff Heidel, the event organizer, before my lecture. A group of photographers joined us to photograph the wild bison and elk that roam the refuge. All funds raised for the event went to help support the refuge! It was supposed to be a sunset shoot but the heavy fog created more of a Bison in the Mist mood! http://www.maxwellwildliferefuge.com

The first rays of light on an elk, the background in the shades helps the elk stand out from the image. For the composition, I placed it off center nd looking into the frame leaving space to show the elk in the ENVIRONMENT. I usually like the lower right or left corner for that. Photographed at f/5.6. 1/250 sec, ISO 1250, EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM EXT at 560mm. Manual exposure mode.
